The El Dorado Mineral and
Gem Society's participation in the annual county fair
includes displaying minerals, lapidary, jewelry work,
and educational exhibits. We coordinate the exhibit setup and provide
hosts and hostesses for the Minerals & Mining Display in the Organ Room
Building.
Our society hosts over
30
case displays including worldwide minerals,
lapidary, jewelry, self-collected specimens, fossils and
artifacts. We also
exhibit photos and samples of rocks and
minerals collected on
our many field trips. Mining maps, photos, mineral
posters and
other
educational
material are all part of the display.
Visiting us at the Fair is a great opportunity to learn about our
society and meet its members. We are happy to explain more about
the hobby and activities that you can attend.
Both children and
adults enjoy getting our grab bags
from
year to year.
Donations from the grab bags go toward our Education and Scholarship Programs.
Competition in the county fair is
open to the general public, and membership in the club is not
required in order to enter or compete.
